The vote was taken last Friday. I know the vote can be changed before the USSC issues its official ruling in June, as I’ve read in the news.

God forbid, but happens if a justice passes away before then ruling is officially issued? Will/can the vote be changed by the remaining members?

Most likely the vote was 5-4 to kill Obamacare. Should one of the 5 suffer a fatal "accident" or "heart attack" or "assassination by a right winger" before the final ruling, a new vote would be required. This would result in a 4-4 tie, thereby preserving Obamacare. Or the case might be reheard after a replacement is appointed by Obama and the Democrat Senate. This is why the House is not merely authorized but REQUIRED to impeach a criminal president like the one we have.
